Until now I was using serializable for saving and loading data, but now I have switched to JSON. And as soon as I have started there is a problem. Json will not save me any class. I was trying to save standalone Variables.class. This class contains various static data - player type string, bonus type strings, scores. Then I did create private class in class, then class in method, but nothing. Output od System.out.println(json) is always just {}.
For example this was my last attempt to make things work:
public static void saveAVD() {
Variables v = new Variables();
String json = new Json().toJson(v);
System.out.println(json);
file.writeString(json.prettyPrint(json), false);
}
Note: File variable is located in local bin folder. Inside that file are also just two empty bracelets ({})
Any advice?
(Credit to noone, who answered this in a comment).
JSON will, by default, not serialize static fields. The quickest way to get the behavior you want would probably be to convert the Variables class into a singleton.

I want to create an arraylist of type Adapter from a JSON. But since the JSON is not in arraylist format, I'm unable to use gson.fromJson() method.
Is there any way by which I can create a list of my custom object by parsing the following JSON?
JSON data:
"source":{"adapter-config.adapter[0].name":"testAdapter1",
"adapter-config.adapter[0].resolverName":"serviceResolver",
"adapter-config.adapter[0].parameters[0].key":"serviceId",
"adapter-config.adapter[0].parameters[0].value":"serviceIdPathInEvent",
"adapter-config.adapter[0].parameters[1].key":"appId",
"adapter-config.adapter[0].parameters[1].value":"appIdPathEvent",
"adapter-config.adapter[0].parameters[2].key":"env",
"adapter-config.adapter[0].parameters[2].value":"envPathInEvnet"}
My Adapter Object:
public class Adapter {
private String name;
private String resolverName;
private List<KeyValuePair<String, String>> attributeList;
}
Gson does not provide such functionality out of the box. However you can achieve this by manually reading the JSON data from a JsonReader, consuming the JSON property names with nextName() and then parsing them to determine which data they represent. You could either directly read from a JsonReader, or in case the shown JSON data is only an extract from a larger JSON document, you can implement a TypeAdapter for your List<Adapter>. That TypeAdapter could then either be registered with a GsonBuilder by providing new TypeToken<List<Adapter>>() {}.getType() as type, or you could annotate the field holding the List<Adapter> with #JsonAdapter.
For the actual parsing of List<Adapter>, I would recommend storing a current adapter (and its index in the list) in a local variable. Whenever you parse a JSON property name, you could then check if the index encoded in the name is equal to the index of the current adapter, then you are going to modify the existing instance, otherwise if the encoded index is equal to the index of the current adapter + 1 you create a new Adapter instance, add it to the list of adapters and reassign the current adapter variable and its index variable. Then you continue with parsing the remainder of the property name to find out which Adapter field values to set.
(In case you get stuck there, feel free to let me know in the comments and I can try to provide some concrete code; but it would probably be best if you tried it yourself first.)
I'm new to Typescript and I encountered a JSON deserializing problem.
Consider this class:
class Product {
public id!: number;
public get calculatedProperty() : string {
return "Test";
};
};
As you can see calculatedProperty is a runtime calculated property.
Also, consider that I deserialize a JSON string into my object in this way:
var jsonData = '{ "id": 2 }';
let deserialized = JSON.parse(jsonData) as Product;
The problem comes now:
This call console.log(deserialized.id); returns correctly 1.
This call console.log(deserialized.calculatedProperty); returns undefined!
I really don't understand way. It seems that as Product doesn't really create a Product object, because If I directly invoke the constructor, new Product, the calculated property exists.
What am I doing wrong with the JSON deserialization?
Thanks!
TypeScript's job is only to perform type checking during development and make sure we don't make careless mistakes. At the end of the day, all it does is just compiling the script and transform it into good old JavaScript. Therefore, any TypeScript syntax are not applied in runtime.
In other words, type assertions are removed in runtime.
There are also several warnings in the documentation about this:
Like a type annotation, type assertions are removed by the compiler and won’t affect the runtime behavior of your code.
Reminder: Because type assertions are removed at compile-time, there is no runtime checking associated with a type assertion. There won’t be an exception or null generated if the type assertion is wrong.
Besides, the as keyword does not instantiate a constructor. It merely provides a type information (which will be removed during compile-time). The only way we can instantiate a constructor and access its instance properties/methods is through the new keyword.
The JSON.parse method isn't really for converting json into a class rather than an object.
To solve your issue you could potentially convert the json into an object like this:
let deserializedObject = JSON.parse(jsonData) as Object;
and after that you could assign the object to a class like that:
let deserialized = Object.assign(new Product(), deserializedObject);
Note that I have not tested this yet, but it should work.
Also this is fine for simple objects, but not for objects with complex hierarchy.

I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the way spring/jackson convert a JSON string (stored in a file) into various POJOs. For example, if I have this JSON:
{
"rates":{
"EURUSD":5.4321,
"USDHKD":1.2345
}
}
I actually want to get an instance of my 'Rates' class. Inside that I want a List containing each individual rate.
In my spring config file I created this entry:
#Bean
public ObjectMapper jsonObjectMapper() {
return new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter().getObjectMapper();
}
And in my service class I did this:
#Autowired
ObjectMapper jsonObjectMapper;
public Rates currentRates() {
Resource resource = this.ctx.getResource("classpath:stub/data/rates/Rates-01.json");
return this.jsonObjectMapper.readValue(resource.getURL(), Rates.class);
}
The problem is that I am trying to figure out how to take the Map containing the currencies as a single key, break those currencies in two and then create a RateEntry object containing the two currencies and the rate, before populating a list in the Rates class.
I've been looking at Spring's Conversion Service with the idea to define a converter that maps the Map to a list. i.e. this signature: Converter<Map<String, BigDecimal>, List<Rate>>. However this is based on the assumption that the JSON is first converted to standard types before the conversion service is called. An assumption I now think is incorrect.
So I'm now trying to figure out if I need to register some sort of custom ObjectMapper to handle reading directly from the JSON String data. But that sounds like over kill as I only want to adjust part of the object graph, and let the default converters handle the rest.
Any pointers appreciated. Thanks.
Ok, Jackson tries to stay away from structural transformations (since it's a quick-sand pit with unlimited number of general permutations). But it might be possible to use some existing features to do what you want.
First: to use Object key to indicate type, you will probably want to enable polymorphic type handling with "as object wrapper" inclusion.
So add something like:
#JsonTypeInfo(as=Include.WRAPPER_OBJECT)
for your Rates class declaration.
As to converting values into list; this might work by defining "any-setter" (see http://www.cowtowncoder.com/blog/archives/2011/07/entry_458.html), something like:
#JsonAnySetter
public void set(String key, Double value) // or "Object value")
{
list.add(new Rate(key, value));
}
I hope this helps.
I have two domain classes one is parent and other one is child and i have a hasMany relationship between them. Parent class has many childs and child class belongs to parent class.
And here is coding example.
class Parent{
String name
static hasMany = [childs:Child]
static constraints = {
}
}
class Child{
String name
static belongsTo = [parent:Parent]
static constraints={}
}
Problem is as soon as I get the parent object the child objects associated with parent class were also fetched. But when I convert the object to JSON I don't see the child object completely I can only able to see the ID's of child objects. I want to see all columns of child object instead of only Id.
Converted JSON response:
[{"class":"project.Parent","id":1,
"name":"name1","childs":[{"class":"Child","id":1},{"class":"Review","id":2}]}]
But I want the response which contains name of child object too, as follows
[{"class":"project.Parent","id":1,"name":"name1",
"childs":[{"class":"Child","id":1,"name":"childname1"},
{"class":"Review","id":2,"name":"childname2"}
]
}]
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
The issue is with the use of default JSON converter. Here are your options:
1. Default - all fields, shallow associations
a. render blah as JSON
2. Global deep converter - change all JSON converters to use deep association traversal
a. grails.converters.json.default.deep = true
3. Named config marshaller using provided or custom converters
a. JSON.createNamedConfig('deep'){
it.registerObjectMarshaller( new DeepDomainClassMarshaller(...) )
}
b. JSON.use('deep'){
render blah as JSON
}
4. Custom Class specific closure marshaller
a. JSON.registerObjectMarshaller(MyClass){ return map of properties}
b. render myClassInstance as JSON
5. Custom controller based closure to generate a map of properties
a. convert(object){
return map of properties
}
b. render convert(blah) as JSON
You are currently using Option 1, which is default.
The simplest you can do is use Option 2 to set global deep converter, but be aware this effects ALL domain classes in your app. Which means that if you have a large tree of associations culminating in a top level object and you try to convert a list of those top level objects the deep converter will execute all of the queries to fetch all of the associated objects and their associated objects in turn. - You could load an entire database in one shot :) Be careful.
The latest grails automatically deep converts but you are probably a victim of lazy loading.
The children are not loaded at access and hence the JSON converter cannot convert them to JSON.
The workaround is to put this
static mapping = { childs lazy: false }
user dbrin is correct, but there's one more option. You could also use the Grails GSON Plugin:
https://github.com/robfletcher/grails-gson#readme
The Plugin adds some more features when dealing with json data.
The suggested solution is working, however I had some trouble referencing "grailsApplication". It turns out, that you can ingest it like any other service. I put the following code into the
BootStrap.groovy
file. Also, the class DeepDomainClassMarshaller handles quite well bidirectional circular references, but beware that the JSON Payload is not to big after all deep deferencation.
package aisnhwr
import grails.converters.JSON
import grails.core.GrailsApplication
import org.grails.web.converters.marshaller.json.DeepDomainClassMarshaller
class BootStrap {
GrailsApplication grailsApplication
def init = { servletContext ->
JSON.createNamedConfig('deep'){
it.registerObjectMarshaller( new DeepDomainClassMarshaller(false, grailsApplication) )
}
}
def destroy = {
}
}
I'm trying to change the (de)serialization of a list in one of my classes.
the objects in the list shall be serialised as int (their jpa id) and deserialised accordingly. serialization is simple.
for the deserialization i have a class that can translate the id into the object if id and class are known.
How do i get the necessary class from jackson? all default jackson serialisers have a constructor like this: protected StdDeserialiser(Class<?> vc) so the information is present somewhere.
is there a way to access it during deserialisation?
or before the deserialiser is constructed by jackson?
or inside the HandlerInstantiator?
I only want to overwrite the default deseriliser for certain references so i can't just write a provider or a custom module.
I made it work from inside the deserializer with the help of the ContextDeserializer interface as this supplies the deserializer with the target property.
public JsonDeserializer<?> createContextual(DeserializationContext ctxt, BeanProperty property) throws JsonMappingException {
Class<?> vc = null;
if (property.getType().isCollectionLikeType()) {
vc = property.getType().getContentType().getRawClass();
} else {
vc = property.getType().getRawClass();
}
return new ResourcePathDeserializer(vc, converter);
}
This solution is not perfect as I only get the raw class of the return type or the generic (which might be a parent class or an interface) but that is enough for my requirements.
It would be better if I could access the "real" class that was resolved by Jackson, but for me this works.
First of all, there is nothing fancy about writing a Module: it is just a way for plugging things in, like custom (de)serializers. So no need to avoid that. And you will most like need to write a module to do what you want.
In general it is not a good idea to try to create "universal" serializers or deserializers, and it will probably run into problem. But it depends on what exactly you are trying to do.
Type information will either be:
Implicit from context: you are writing a (de)serializer for type T, and register it for it, so that's your type
Passed by Jackson when (de)serializer is being constructed, via Module interface: modules are asked if they happen to have a (de)serializer for type T. SimpleModule will only use basic Class-to-impl mapping (that's where "simple" comes from); but full custom Module has access to incoming type.
But I don't know if above will work for your use case. Type information must be available from static type (declared content type for the list).
